Because Swiftcast would still be faster, provided my cast time is longer than one GCD- and why would you blow Swiftcast on a spell that's that quick? Swiftcast literally does everything Surecast does, but better- which has been my platform this whole time.

As a BLM I generally only need to swiftcast a spell once a minute or so anyway- if I'm being attacked I'm either in PvP where Surecast isn't awful and the enemy will just run behind me anyway, and you will always prefer Swiftcast to Surecast for anything like Thunder3, Fire3, Flare, Raise, etc- because it is a net increase in efficiency, due to it being faster as well. Even a traited Surecast doesn't make up for it's deficiencies, because the proc chance is so low.

Your knowledge about the skill and the class that uses it seems lacking. Do you yourself use Surecast? Because, no offense to you, but your posts in this topic seem to be antagonistic and provoking in nature and generally contradicts what every other person in it has said, save one person on the first page.
